National Prisoner of War Museum

We have been a couple of times. It's such an incredible but sad museum. Highly recommend taking the time to read everything and be humbled by what we as humans have endured. Bless America, and we shall never forget those that served and continue to serve. The grounds are beautiful and can take a little bit of time to walk, so come with plenty of time to walk around or drive around as both can be done with parking throughout some of the drive to get down and read.

It’s just really hard for me to wrap my head around all this but Sarah who works there, really helped to give us information. We watched the 27 minute movie in the theater and how I withheld my tears, I don’t know, it is so powerful and so sad. Here in AMERICA! Some say it will happen again.
I WOULD RECOMMEND

You need to see this place and how the P.O.W flag and honors started because of this place.
You've never been touched like you will here. Someone said 45 minutes tops in here. We spent 4 hours there, and I could have stayed longer.

This museum is phenomenal. There is a 28 minute movie with POWs from wars of different eras. There is an extensive display of photos, videos, actual letters, etc. to review. This is a not miss museum and you could spend a couple of hours. There is no charge, but I do recommend a donation. The staff, especially Ann and her husband from Texas, are knowledgeable and friendly.

With the location at the Andersonville POW camp, this is a solemn place. The museum is well put together and provides amazing insight into the trials of Americans that have been POWs throughout the history of our country. Add it to your itinerary if anywhere close.

It is a beautifully kept cemetery where my family is buried. I enjoyed coming here before just to get a glimpse of what generations before me had to endure for this country's freedom. It is an eye opening experience that everyone should have.

Such a powerful place that has so much historical information. Not recommended for children as I feel it does not keep their attention. My two were done in a few minutes.

Shows the POW situation over multiple wars and the terrible costs of war.

Great museum highlighting the sacrifices are troops have made through the years. The park rangers were very informative and super nice, overall a great experience.

Very nice museum. Covers the history of POW's throughout all of the US wars. All of the water features were turned off the day we visited.

Incredible stories...so moving. This is a place that you must see.

Educational, very hot outside. But it was well worth it being in the heat

The museum paid tribute to all fractions of different wars. Great information, fils and displays.

Stark presentation of the POW experience - and the aftermath for survivors. Make sure that you take time to view the 27 min. film, narrated by Colin Powell. One of the POWs interviewed was Senator John McCain. Emotional and important stories here.

A sobering and emotional heart-wrenching display of human cruelty toward POWs of past wars. Former Senator and POW, John McCain, was mentioned a number of times. The fact that former President Trump called John McCain a "loser" because he was a POW greatly diminishes all of the souls that are mentioned in this museum. SAD.

Very well done, very neat, emotional.

Loved it,,,,, very sad, but have read the book Andersonville three times so a must see for me

Enjoyed my visit. I am a USAF veteran and to see all the photos of men locked up and so close to dieing was heart breaking

Free admission. Great place to visit. Very informative.

It's a place that makes you really think about what happened to people who were captured in war. Very eye opening.
